AuthorTopic: Newb friendly Linux Movie Maker? (Read 5256 times)

I've recently goten my mitts on the linux cd for tribes 2 and I've wanted to do some match recording. Granted tribes has an in-game recorder, but its only viewable within the game engine. So I need two things.

One: Something that works like fraps, as in something that'll run in the background and record what I'm doing.

Two: Something like windows movie maker(without the crash happyness). Yes there are open scource editing tools, but its been my limited experiance that they're not exactly 'new guy' friendly. Any suggestions?

It features excellentkino: integration with IEEE 1394 for capture, VTR control, and recording back tokino: the camera. It captures video to disk in raw DV or AVI format in both type-1kino: DV and type-2 DV (separate audio stream) encodings. Kino does not support otherkino: video file formats or encodings.

Ok in short apps like fraps take whats happening on screen and ports it to an uncompressed avi file so that you can edit and compress as you see fit with other prograsm. Fraps also has a FPS counter(since its game-centric) and a screenshot function, but its mainly for recording stuff that goes on inside your computer.
